Finding the right Pulverizer for reliable size reduction tasks

The RETSCH pulverizer range covers applications from the preliminary size reduction of particles of several centimeters to fine grinding down to the nano range. Retsch Pulverizer Mill.

A good pulverizer guarantees reproducible sample preparation, which is the basis for any reliable and accurate laboratory analysis.

RETSCH products turn any laboratory sample into a representative part with required homogeneous analytical fineness.

Our comprehensive range of the most modern pulverizer mills and crushers are suitable for coarse, fine and ultra-fine size reduction of almost any material.

The wide selection of grinding tools and accessories not only ensures contamination- free preparation but also adaptation to the specific requirements of such different areas of application as construction materials, metallurgy, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals or environment.

Particle size reduction of solids or bulk materials is required when the particles are too coarse or the material is too inhomogeneous for subsequent processes such as analysis, division, mixing or further processing. The standard deviation of any subsequent analysis can be minimized drastically by particle reduction and homogenization of the analysis sample.

How to choose the right Pulverizer

The following criteria are important to consider when selecting a suitable pulverizer:

  • Material properties of the sample (e.g. breaking behavior)
  • Feed size of the sample
  • Required final fineness
  • Feed quantity

If the initial particle size of the sample is coarse, it might be necessary to use two different pulverizer machines, one for preliminary size reduction and one for fine grinding, to achieve analytical fineness.

To choose suitable grinding tools is also part of the selection process for finding the right pulverizer for your material. Here the important criteria are hardness, abrasion resistance, possible contamination and, for ball mills, the energy input.

What you can expect from a RETSCH pulverizer

With a RETSCH pulverizer you can rely on more than a century of experience and the best of German engineering technology. You will receive a product that is long-lasting, reliable and engineered with an eye for detail.
